Week # 4

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

Another week complete.  6 more to go.  I really doesn’t stop there as I will be getting to the nitty-gritty of things.  Anyone can be a professional based of books and tests.  Real, on the job training, is what will ultimately be the deciding factor.  After 4 weeks, I am tied at the top of the class for overall test scores.  That’s a shocker to me..  I’m just happy to be passing everything so far.  I’ve just been studying like mad and hoping for the best.  Had 3 days of PT this week.  The third day was pretty brutal!!  I think I finally got my strength back… lol..  Got more studying to do this weekend, so I better get on it!!

Week #3

Friday, March 14th, 2008

Another week down.  It has been the most interesting to date.  Looks like every Friday we are going to get a butt kicking!!  Some pretty intense workouts going on, on these days.  When this trip is all said and done, I will have a story to share with everyone.  But, in the fairness of keeping things quiet, I can’t share that story right now.  All I have to say is that I haven’t had SO much adrenaline flowing in a long time.  If I happen to have a chance to talk to people, I will share that story.  The internet can be seen by so many people, so I don’t want to post it on here.  This week seemed to just fly by.  I guess that’s a good thing.  Right now, nothing is really guaranteed.  I just have to keep giving it 110% and know that I gave it my all.  I’ve been VERY focused on this so far and lucky that my wife has helped out tremendously. The stress level hasn’t dropped though and I doubt it will.  I’ll just keep taking it one day at a time.

Week 2, DONE!

Survived another week!  We are getting crammed with information.  Tons of great information I might add.  Today (Friday) we took a bunch of lumps.  A little different from what I have been use to, but I made it.  Probably the hardest day thus far.  Had the first job knowledge test as well and I passed that with flying colors.  That caught me by suprise as I wasn’t feeling too confident after taking the test.  Still haven’t got use to the uniforms pressing and the boot shining, but it is slowly getting easier.  So much information to process… Hope I can sleep this weekend!!
